Do You Believe in Santa Paws?

Kitties, we have no photographic proof. It all happened so fast. But this morning we were glancing out our back window when nine (yes NINE - Mom counted them!) deer went through our back yard and quickly into the yard behind our house. Now Mom had to check on Wikipedia just to be sure but this is what she read:

The names of Santa's reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,Comet, Cupid, Donder (or Donner), and Blitzen. They are based on those used in the 1823 poem A Visit from St. Nicholas, arguably the basis of reindeer's popularity as Christmas symbols, where Donner and Blitzen were originally called Dunder and Blixem respectively.
